Technical drawing is the use of drawing tools, symbols, and techniques to visually communicate technical designs and ideas. It involves using materials like pencils, rulers, and compasses to create drawings that are then interpreted by technicians. Technical drawing skills are important for various careers including architects, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, industrial designers, surveyors, and graphic designers. These professionals rely on technical drawings to precisely depict layouts, dimensions, and specifications for structures, machines, and products to facilitate construction and shared understanding.

SS 1 Lesson Note

Week 1
CONTENT: INTRODUCTION TO TECHNICAL DRAWING

Definition:

Technical Drawing is the use of drawing instruments, lines, letters, signs, and symbols to present ideas on a paper in the form of

pictures or drawings, which only technicians can interpret and use to achieve their technical goals. The instruments used in

Technical drawing work come in two forms namely drawing materials and drawing equipments.

1. Drawing materials: These are the instruments that the technician can carry along

him wherever he wishes. They are easy to carry, because they are not usually heavy. Examples of drawing instruments are: pencil,

eraser, stencil, Tee square, masking tape/pin, erasing shield, handkerchief/tissue paper, template, ruler, French curves, flexible

curves, drawing sheet, compasses, divider, and glass paper/sharpener.

2. Drawing equipment: This has to do with most of the heavy instruments that the technician may not always carry about

wherever he goes. Examples include drawing software, computer, camera, and drawing board.

Careers opportunities that requires Technical Drawing

1. Architect: An architect is a professional who designs and oversees the construction of buildings and structures. Architects use

their technical drawing skills to develop detailed plans, elevations, and sections that communicate the design and construction

requirements to contractors and other stakeholders.

2. Civil Engineer: Civil engineers are professionals who design, construct, and maintain infrastructure projects such as roads,

bridges, dams, airports, and sewage systems. Civil engineers rely on technical drawing to create detailed engineering drawings that

depict the layout, dimensions, and specifications of their designs. These drawings serve as a guide during construction and enable

effective communication with other professionals involved in the project.

3. Mechanical Engineer: Mechanical engineers are responsible for designing, developing, and testing mechanical systems and
machines. Technical drawing is an important skill for mechanical engineers, as it allows them to communicate their designs and
ideas with clarity and precision.

4. Industrial Designer: Industrial designers specialize in creating innovative and functional designs for consumer products,
furniture, appliances, and other manufactured goods. Technical drawing is essential for industrial designers as it helps them
visually communicate their ideas. It includes concept sketches, detailed product renderings, and manufacturing drawings that
specify materials, dimensions, and manufacturing processes.

5. Surveyor: Surveyors are professionals who measure and map the Earth's surface to establish property boundaries and gather
data for construction projects. They use technical drawing to create accurate maps, plans, and legal documents that represent land
boundaries and survey measurements. These drawings are crucial for land-related decisions and developments.

6. Graphic Designer: : Graphic designers are visual communicators who create designs for print and digital media. They use
artistic and technical skills to convey messages effectively through visual elements like typography and images. Technical
drawing, although not the main focus, can be used in specialized areas such as technical illustrations or product packaging. It
helps designers provide precise visual representations of complex information or concepts.
